* Origin

Once upon a time, a group of friends all wanted to play a table-top
role playing game, but could not decide on the rules. So for a while
we tried playing existing games. The first game was too hot, the next
was too cold. Then we made things up as we went along. Then we decided
to formally craft our own game. That one was just right.

* Roadmap
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: roadmap
:END:


Throughout the site, if a header has a TODO tag, it usually means that
remains a WIP.

For now the different part of the game will use different sets of
milestones, unless they directly relate to each other. The core rules
will follow numeric milestones. The artwork and game tools will follow
alphabetical milestones.


** Milestone 1 - Beta Release

The list for the Beta will likely change over time. Interested folks
can refer to the git log in the repo.

- Finish character creation.
- Add more about Role Playing and Inspiration in the core-rules/index.
- Distinguish between the different Attempts: skills, saves, and
  wills.
- Fill in tables; see todo notes for [[file:../tables/index.org][tables]].


** Milestone 2 - Expanded content

- Metamorph rules
- AI rules
- Controlling Drones/Remotes
- Add the NPCs
- Garra's Catalogue
- Drone deliveries
- Combat Scales - In terms of characters, groups of characters,
  vehicles, etc.
- Megacorps
- More details about places, countries, arcologies, especially in
  Cascadia


** Milestone A - Map renderer tool

- Load a map without exiting the program.
- Optimize the refresh rate.
- Establish a standard ascii coordinate to sprite standard.
- Create more ascii maps to load.
- Create more sprite templates.
